The New York Knicks play host to the Memphis Grizzlies for a Saturday showdown at noon ET.

The Knicks (8-17) are coming off a double-overtime victory against the Milwaukee Bucks and have now won two of their past four games. Tyson Chandler has returned to man the middle of the defense, and in his first appearance in 20 games the Knicks’ center went 9-9, a welcomed stat line for the NBA’s 29th-ranked team in terms of rebounding.

Playing a major role in the Knicks’ win was Beno Udrih, who started in place of the injured Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni. The veteran point guard contributed 21 points, five assists and four boards.

The Grizzlies (10-15) have taken a step back from the 2012-13 season in which they advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Memphis has dropped five in a row, largely due to their offensive deficiencies without center Marc Gasol in the lineup. The Grizzlies’ offense is ranked 26th in the NBA, averaging fewer than 94 points per game.

I think the Knicks players coach themselves. Woodson's adjustments consist of lineup shuffles. His idea of scouting the other team is looking at the starting lineup for the other team and making his lineup decision based on how tall they are. I am so tired of hearing, "well Memphis is big so we're going to start a big lineup." We don't have a big lineup. Tyson and Bargnani are big in theory lol. We were out-rebounded 56-29!!!

I cant stand to look at Woodson's gaping mouth on the sidelines one more game.

Guys, this is bad. We look REALLY bad. Injuries, at this point, are just an excuse. It's the same thing every game. We don't do ANYTHING well except take care of the ball. I don't think the coach is going anywhere. I fear Dolan may have an Isiah type love for him. I expect a loss every game now...it helps ease the inevitable pain a bit. If your best player is playing, you should be able to at least have a .500 record regardless of injuries.

So we go big, but can't rebound, don't space the floor, don't defend yet this coach is so stubborn he forces this lineup that doesn't work. Yet some garbage comeback that had no chance of happening is going to keep the coach. I don't care if there's no replacement. Should never be used as a reason to keep your coach.

@SheSaidSpikeWho Melo can't do it alone. He's not an LBJ type of player. He's the one Knick player that's aguably played the hardest throughout the season, but there's only so much he can do with his given skillset.

- His coach makes no efforts to give him easy looks. His strategy is to dump him the ball with 7 seconds to go, have the rest of his players do nothing, and have Melo bail him out.

- JR's struggling big time (even though today he was pretty decent), and when there's no guy to help you out consistently, the trust and communication is lost. If a coach doesn't have good man management, which Woodson doesn't, this isn't addressed because he doesn't know how to.

- When your coach is too stubborn to understand when to pull players and give minutes to those who are helping, as a unit, it's tough to win when 3 out of 5 players are struggling while getting strong minutes.

- AB started well, but it's clear that he depends on a PG that can give him good P&P and P&R situations.

- Defensively, Woodson has no idea what he's doing. There's no trust, no help defense, no rotations. Nothing. The one decent thing I see is that there's less switching, but the lack of chemistry and cohesion, along with a coach that doesn't adjust, is just murdering this team.

- As far as hustle goes, that's both on the players and the coach. It is unacceptable for a professional to NEVER show up. This team just isn't capable of putting in the work of 48 minutes. When you get played millions, it's unacceptable. On the other hand, it's ridiculous that you're an NBA coach and you don't have it in you to motivate and inspire your players to rise.

@OLD_KNICK@SheSaidSpikeWho Exactly. I didn't expect a championship team at all since we didn't address any of our needs in the offseason. I certainly didn't expect this though...and it feels like it's just going to continue.
